So there is no need to worry. We will have everything in place to prepare our students for the new exams. Q: Do you have any special advice for students in the Class of 2017? A: We strongly encourage students in the Class of 2017 to consider the ACT as an alternative to the new SAT because, as with anything new, there will be glitches rolling out the new test. The ACT, on the other hand, is a known quantity, and is not changing.
